When he was twelve, his father sent him to Vienna to study sign painting, and during his ten years there he studied German literature and wrote his first poems in German before returning to Zlochov in 1907, where he began to write in Yiddish. The following year, he immigrated to New York, where a diverse community of Yiddish writers awaited him. During his lifetime, he published two volumes of poetry-\u003ci\u003eIn New York\u003c\/i\u003e (1919) and \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Peacock\u003c\/i\u003e (1924). A third volume was published posthumously, in 1934. Drawing from these three volumes, poet and translator Richard Fein offers a selection of Halpern's poetry that covers the full scope of his career. Fein's translations appear alongside the original Yiddish while an introduction by Larry Rosenwald situates Halpern in his historic and literary context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moyshe-Leyb Halpern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Excelsior Editions\/State University of New Yo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Excelsior Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798855805031","brand":"Excelsior Editions\/State University of New Yo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45133438943369,"sku":"9798855805031","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_165ae1e4-4703-4193-831b-d9f67338984b.jpg?v=1767678751","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/zlochov-my-home-poems-by-moyshe-leyb-halpern-9798855805031","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
